AS Roma vs Lazio Prediction & Betting Tips (5 January)

A very difficult season at the moment for La Louve who is not taking off and has already been dropped from the title race and probably from the Champions League since the 4th at the start of this day, in this case Lazio, is displays with a lead of 15 points. Italian football experts had ambitions for this team which had improved in the second half of the season last year but the start never stuck. Before thinking about playing in the European fold, Roma must already think about winning matches and creating a winning streak that would do them a world of good. During the previous two days, they did not lose, notably with a victory inflicted on promoted Parma 5-0, but a draw after Christmas on the turf of AC Milan in a very sad 1-1 display. Despite the storm, Joya's partners Paulo Dybala reached the 1/8 finals of the Italian Cup by beating Sampdoria 4-1 . Still in contention in the Europa League, the season is far from over on all fronts for the locals.

 Opposite, we find AS Roma's closest neighbor, Lazio. And suffice to say that the melody is very different and sounds less false for Laziale who occupied, at the start of this day, 4th place, virtually qualified for the next C1. Led by Pedro, Castellanos and Guendouzi, the sky blue team had a prolific month of December with two back-to-back successes against Naples in the Italian Cup 3-1, and in the championship 0-1, without forgetting its great performance in Amsterdam against Ajax in the Europa League 1-3 or his recent success in Calcio on the Lecce meadow 1-2. Just after Christmas, Lazio were held to a draw at home by championship leader Atalanta, conceding the equalizer in the money-time 1-1.  

In Italy, a lot of teams suffer from major absences within their workforce. This is not really the case for Roma who only see Cristante (important all the same) occupying the care. Which means that cracks like Dybala (5 goals in the league), Paredes (ex-PSG), Angelino (ex-City), Hummels (ex-BVB), or even the Ivorian Ndicka, and the Frenchy Manu Koné will be well present. Thunderous with Girona last year by finishing Pichichi in La Liga, Artem Dovbyk clearly does not have the same performance in Calcio (5 pawns + 2 assists). Four crucial players from Baroni's (coach) rotation could remain on the flank this evening.

In this case Vecino, Pedro (3 league goals, 37 years old), the Dutchman Noslin, and Lazzari. For the rest, the group should be complete with in particular the presence of Castellanos who asserts himself as a very reliable attacker in Europe (7 goals in SA), the French passed by Marseille Gigot and Guendouzi (international) without forgetting the compatriot and former Rennes Tchaouna (1 goal in SA). Against Atalanta, it was the Nigerian crack (international) Dele-Bashiru who scored his second goal of the season.
